Wireless microphones are great—until you discover you bought the wrong wireless microphones.
One singer needs a handheld.
Another wants a headset.
The presenter wants a bodypack.
The school production needs eight microphones.
And suddenly your “simple” wireless setup has turned into a box full of transmitters, receivers, cables and accessories.
VocoPro’s new UDX-ULTRA systems are designed to eliminate some of that guesswork.
Two systems. Two very different jobs.
VocoPro is offering the UDX-ULTRA in two configurations:
DUAL-ULTRA
A two-channel system.
OCTO-ULTRA
An eight-channel system.
Both packages combine handheld microphones with headset/bodypack systems.
That flexibility is the real story.
What comes in the box?
The DUAL-ULTRA includes:
- two-channel UDX receiver
- two handheld microphones
- two headset/bodypack microphones
- XLR cables
The OCTO-ULTRA expands that to eight channels and eight handheld/headset combinations.
Digital audio and automatic scanning
The systems use 24-bit digital audio and automatic channel scanning.
The receiver can monitor RF, audio and battery information in real time.
For a busy environment, that’s useful.
The less time you spend hunting for a clean frequency, the more time you can spend worrying about the performance.
Who needs the two-channel system?
The DUAL-ULTRA makes sense for smaller applications:
- singers
- presenters
- small bands
- houses of worship
- karaoke
- small events
Who needs eight channels?
The OCTO-ULTRA is aimed at larger productions.
Think:
- schools
- theater
- large bands
- conferences
- worship services
- events with multiple presenters
Eight channels gives you room to grow without immediately buying another wireless system.
Pricing
The listed pricing is approximately:
DUAL-ULTRA: MAP $399 / MSRP $539
OCTO-ULTRA: MAP $1,569 / MSRP $2,099
Actual street pricing can vary.
The MikesGig takeaway
The most interesting part of the UDX-ULTRA isn’t simply that it is wireless.
It’s that VocoPro is trying to answer a very practical question:
“What do I need to get everyone on stage without assembling a wireless system one piece at a time?”
For smaller setups, the DUAL-ULTRA may be the more sensible starting point.
For schools, larger productions and multi-person events, the OCTO-ULTRA is the obvious step up.
And sometimes the best piece of music gear is the one that makes setup less annoying.
